Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable mcp/crw-mcp/bin/crw-mcp.js:166
  const bin = path.join(dir, binName);
Runs an external command sdks/typescript/src/local.ts:68
    const proc = spawn(bin, [], { stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "ignore"], env: localChildEnv() });
Runs an external command sdks/python/src/crw/client.py:832
            self._process = subprocess.Popen(
Dumps the whole environment sdks/typescript/src/local.ts:48
  return Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(process.env).filter(([k]) => !drop.has(fold(k))));
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Sends data to a third-party sink .github/workflows/bump-saas-pin.yml:131
          curl -s -m 10 "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TG_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
